This delectable dessert layers my favorite ice cream (chocolate) and my husband's favorite (butter pecan) on a shortbread crust, along with chocolate candy pieces, toasted pecans and caramel topping. It never fails to impress our guests. -Kelly Arvay Barberton, Ohio

This dessert is a winner time and time again. I have made it personally twice and my mom has made more times than that. Each of us gets asked "How did you make that?" My husband now ranks this as his favorite dessert.
